Every photography business owner wants to be a thriving entrepreneur. Is that you? It is not just strategy or execution, but how well you know your own strengths. Self-awareness involves your personality style, how you see the world around you, and why you see it that way.

In this episode of The Beginner Photography Podcast, Raymond walks through his recommended steps for picking a social media marketing platform, setting up your CloudSpot + Plann social media integration, what you should be posting as a photographer, and how to set yourself up for automated social media posting.

One of the most powerful, yet underutilized, gallery features we see amongst CloudSpot users is watermarking! Watermarking images adds a level of protection and professionalism to your brand, ensuring that images are downloaded at their highest resolution while protecting your work when posted online and printed independently. With CloudSpot, you can share watermarked images with your clients in just a few clicks. No need to juggle multiple sets of files… simply upload your watermark(s), dial in your settings, and send off your galleries!

"As the photographer, getting your photos to your clients is the job. Sending your client a link to a Google Drive folder is less than ideal. Here you are, about to legitimize your business and your client's experience with a real client gallery experience like CloudSpot." - Raymond Hatfield.

Raymond Hatfield, Host of The Beginner Photography Podcast, is a wedding and portrait photographer that started interviewing photographers on this podcast to hear how they got started, how they see the world, and hear those photographers share what they wish they knew when they started out.
